Clonal Propagation of <I>Quercus serrata</I> Thunb. Syn. <I>Q. Acutissima</I> Carr. through Air Layering

Abstract

A break through has been made in clonal propagation of Quercus serrata auet. non Thunb. syn. Q. acutissima Carr. through air layering. 250 ppm cone. Of IBA was found to be the best dose followed by 500 ppm dose of NAA for induction of rooting as well as for final survival of air layers after transplantation. While June was found to be the best period for raising the air layers, saw dust was found as the best rooting medium for raising air layers.
